When we went to see Rock and Rule (more on it later), the Alamo showing it also had the new, awful-looking, live-action Pokémon movie with Will Smith’s untalented kid. In the lobby they had those chairs and a large Pikachu so I cajoled Somara to take my photo as I did my best James Lipton (of Inside the Actor’s Studio made famous by Wil Farrel’s impression).
Me: Pikachu…in Pokémon the Movie, you were facing Squirtle in a battle. Things looked dire. But you faced the challenge and said words we all remembered, “Pika, pikachu, pikachu!” Brilliant!
Due to my vanity and no special effects budget, I didn’t have the means or will to be bald.
